Thursday, September 25, 2008 mother of 16 asks

Q: 16 yr old...is he ADHD?

Since 3rd grade (8yr?) we've been going back and forth - beginning testing, being told no, he isn't before completeing testing. Now he's 16, does poorly in school if he doesn't 'click' with the teacher and constantly loses assignments, gets into trouble, etc. We have begun testing (again) but are really afraid of the drugs. What to do?
